  2. When ready, select Scan. Images automatically save to the pictures folder, accessible by selecting the Start Menu, navigating to My Computer and choosing Pictures from the left-hand menu.

At what resolution should I scan?

Set the scan resolution at double what your final image’s resolution will be.

Image type final resolution scan resolution
web image 72 150
image for print 300 600


Small images: If you are going to be enlarging a small image the higher your resolution the better the enlarged image will look. Experiment to get the best results!
